Technology Commercialization – Corporate Linkages – IP Protection

About

ORIC promotes the development of public-private partnerships in support of University research, links the University’s research community with the needs and priorities of the industry, develops opportunities for applied research and explores opportunities for technology transfer and commercialization of University research. The Office identifies and establishes collaborations and/or licensing agreements associated with the University’s intellectual property. It is working to enhance the culture of IP capture, including an ongoing evaluation of University research for IP potential. ORIC tracks the success of University technology in the hands of licensees and devises policy briefs.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are crucial for faculty members as they provide legal protection for their creative and innovative works, ensuring recognition and ownership of their intellectual contributions. By securing patents, copyrights, trademarks, and other forms of intellectual property, faculty members can safeguard their research, inventions, and educational materials from unauthorized use, allowing them to retain control over their work and its potential applications. This protection fosters an environment where academic professionals can confidently share their ideas, collaborate, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge without the fear of exploitation, while also offering opportunities for monetization and recognition in their field.

Commercialization is vital for translating academic research into real-world applications that benefit society and the economy. For faculty members, commercialization opens pathways for their inventions, technologies, and discoveries to be developed into products or services that can be marketed, sold, or licensed. This not only ensures that their work has a tangible impact, but also provides a potential source of funding and financial sustainability for further research. Moreover, commercialization helps bridge the gap between academic research and industry, fostering collaborations with businesses, driving innovation, and contributing to societal development through the practical implementation of cutting-edge discoveries.

Objectives

- Promote innovation and commercialization.

- Identification of synergies, and development of relationships with external partners.

- Develop the University's IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) Policy, and ensure that the interests of researchers and faculty members are fully protected.

- Identify, build, and market the intellectual property of the University personnel through a range of licensing and spin-off arrangements.
